Meet the Artist – Taymour Grahne

Organized in collaboration with Career Services of Webster University, this Career Talk – formatted as a presentation followed by a lively Q&A with an audience of students, staff and faculty — is a great introduction to the art market. The speaker was London-based art advisor and gallerist Taymour Grahne, whose work focuses on contemporary art. Between 2013 and 2017, Taymour founded and directed Taymour Grahne Gallery in New York, where he presented an ambitious and rigorous exhibition program and through which he built a profile for exhibiting finding young and mid-career artists – whose careers have grown significantly since – artists like Maia Cruz Palileo, Hassan Hajjaj, Nicky Nodjoumi, Whitney Bedford, Zineb Sedira, and Radames Juni Figueroa, among others. In 2017 Taymour returned to London to focus on both his art advisory practice and a nomadic exhibition program, he launched a series of pop-up solo shows by leading emerging artists including GaHee Park, Dominique Fung, Matthew F Fisher, and Nadia Ayari. In 2020 he founded Taymour Grahne Projects in London, a gallery which provides a space for audiences to discover new, exciting international artists.
